    cheers! i quite like them now, looks abit rs6/s8 reps. they'll do and atleast they're straight

    The stelvio was immense but very busy and tight but the experience was worth it. the Furka pass in central switzerland was probably one of my favourties, road surface was great and it was much much quieter and the decent to Wassen was really quick and you could see for miles. I think driving around there will never disappoint.

    One road that isnt on google maps but exists was from Hahntennjoch in Austria across to Imst, the first one we did and it was really amazing!

    this website was very useful in deciding where to go!

            Im not sure exactly but id say a little over £600. Economy on those roads does not exist. Fuel in switzerland is very expensive too, over €2 a litre!

                    Doing a trip like this has been a life long dream and getting to do it in a car I love and have spent a lot of time on made it even more special.

                    On roads like this the car truly came alive (although lugging all our gear around was annoying!). If I was to do it again, I'd suggest finding a base camp so your car can be empty and light to add to the fun!

                    If anyone has been contemplating a trip like this, just do it, you won't be disappointed!

                        very cool trip, and brings back a lot of memories... also a few spots I recognize!

                        this one for example





                        Great roads they are, but I found the back of the Stelvio (on the pictures) a lot more
                        fun than the actual famous bit.

                          I completely agree, that side was a lot more fun to drive. I almost turned around to drive back up it!

                          If anyone goes, make sure you have good brakes!!!
